[RDD] Time of cart is incorrect
Hi, We use a dropbox folder for every user to upload their music to. There's a script running which imports all new files, sets the name of the dir as artist (so people can find their own tracks) and the original filename as title. This works pretty good, because this way our dj's can use Rivendell without screwing up the non-stop database. However, not every song imported is displayed correctly. I usually find a way to work around it, but that doesn't always work as good. For example: I uploaded a song of 3:17, but Rivendell says it's 6:29. When I play a song like that, the green clock sometimes displays the remaining period correct, but sometimes also gets this wrong. But! When set to automatic, it kind of goes pretty well. Is there a way to solve this? We use version 2.6.0. Thanks!

Re: [RDD] Rdairplay jumps backwards...
I fought with this back in the days to get the news floating, so here's what I did: I created 2 special clocks: one for 23.00-00.00 and one for 00.00-01.00. At 23.58.30 RDCatch runs a macro which loads the next days playlist (which is generated at 23.30, also with a macro runned with RDCatch). The 23.00 clock has a timed event at the beginning of the hour and nothing in the rear (sort of an open ending) and the 00.00 clock starts with a timed make next event. This way the two days flow seamless. Hope this helps you! This does mean you have to create 3 clocks for your 4 hour show, but they're quite equal to eachother, so just make a copy and then adjust it.

By making sure your log make's next at 23:59:55 ish at best you'll only have a song or advert/stinger left to play so worst case scenario for a 15 minute song you'll be hitting the start of your new day log at 00:15 ish. I need on every top of the hour the switch to the line in for the news via FM receiver. And at 5 minutes past full the fade/switch of of the news. Followed by the Showopener. I thought you didn't want to cut the song, seems I misunderstood, in that case you're doing exactly what I'm doing. Only on saturday party evening i don't want to cut the songs, because there a no news until 2 a clock in the night. So i have in the saturday log at 00:00 and 00:05 HST events. In your main log put an event just before the log chain and stick it with a hard start make next at 23:59:50 with a play transition. This way you know you'll have your final song playing and then this event followed by the log chain after 23:59:50. Load up your aux log with a very simple set: 23:59:55 A macro that fades down over 5 seconds (be sure to include a sleep 5 line too) and then does a play next on the main log). Then have the aux log chain back to itself so it reloads (or else it will only work once as the event has already played). What actually happens is this: 23:59:50 Main log, shunts all except for currently playing, final event and log chain 23:59:55 Aux Log, fades and then plays next on main log 00:00:00 Main Log hits the play next event (via aux) which chains to the next day. 00:00:01 ish Main log starts playing your news etc for the new day, ready for the 00:05 show opener. It sounds complicated. Maybe you have some screenshots.? ;) I don't think you'd need a timed event for 00:05 I assume your news is a set length and if it isn't, wouldn't that sound weird if the news started saying, breaking news nuclear missiles incoming to America if you live in snip at 00:05 Welcome to WMRB Radio, bringing you the hits every day Hahahaha. Thats what exactly happens every hour. But mostly at the end of the weather. The news from FM are never exact 5 min. long... BTW. Why you use the AUX log.? On the hours with news a have a cart with 4 second silence and a very long fade time in rdairplay for that machine. If you do a hard start fade macro on the main log, the song stops and the macro fades down a whole lot of silence (unless that was changed in a recent version but we're using 2.5 so its not that old). I don't use a fade macro. I play the 3-4 second silence cart. RDairplay fades itself to silence. This is just the way we do it at our station, there is probably lots of ways to work around the problem but this has served us well for over 2 years now. ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

[RDD] Groups With No Cart Range Give Rdimport Error
When I rdimport a track to a Group with no cart range, I get the error No free carts in specified group. At my installation we want some Groups with no cart range. (I put 0 in the beginning default cart number.) Has anyone else had this error and if so, how is it fixed? I'm using Rivendell v2.10.2. BTW, When I rdimport a track to a Group with a specified range, there is no problem.

[RDD] Database question
Hi All Should we be optimizing the Rivendell database regularly especially if there are lots of records added and removed constantly? Does rddbcheck util do this for you or should we be using Mysql commands to do this?
